Question

Complete a write up about the elements in Ammonia and explain how the elements bounded to create the new substance.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Ammonia consist of nitrogen and hydrogen.

Chemical equation:

N₂ + H₂ → NH₃

Balance chemical equation:

N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃

We can see that nitrogen and hydrogen react with each other and from ammonia.

Nitrogen is present in group 5A. The atomic number of nitrogen is 7. Its atomic mass is 14 amu. It has 5 valence electron.

Electronic configuration:

N₇ = 1s² 2s² 2p³

we can see there are five electron in outer most shell. Thus, nitrogen needs three more electrons to complete the octet. When it combine with other atoms it gain three electron from them

While hydrogen is present in group 1A. It has one valence electron. In ammonia (NH₃) when nitrogen react with hydrogen it gain three electrons thus three atoms of hydrogen combine with one atom of ammonia because one hydrogen atom can share only one electron. Covalent bond is formed between nitrogen and hydrogen and new substance formed is called ammonia.
